Now, ChatGPT is no stranger to collaborating with Microsoft. The software and cloud services giant recently announced that it was pouring around $10 billion into the AI startup, a deal that puts OpenAI’s operations into Microsoft’s Azure cloud containers, while also giving Microsoft access to crucial ChatGPT APIs. For the unaware, APIs are the secret code sauce that will allow Microsoft to put ChatGPT skills into its widely used software products like Word and PowerPoint. Earlier this month, President Brad Stone announced that “a small group of senior leaders and responsible AI experts” at the company had already started experimenting with the early build of ChatGPT last summer (via Microsoft).
Microsoft won’t be alone in the race for next-gen AI supremacy. The immense popularity of ChatGPT triggered an innovation panic at Google, according to a report in The New York Times. Things got so desperate that founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin reportedly held a few high-level meetings to discuss plans about integrating AI skills into the company’s own consumer-facing products, including the bread-and-butter money-maker that is Google Search.
